The win comes on the heels of a late season coaching shuffle for Gorge, which finished second, one point behind Prospect Lake, in the regular season.

Prospect Lake bowed out of the Terry Price playoffs early, however, with two ties and a 3-0 loss to Gorge in the round robin. Gorge defeated Vic West while Gordon Head Gold beat Castaways FC in the cup semifinals.

For winning the regular season, Prospect retains the Island’s No. 1 seed going into the A Cup provincial tournament.

Gorge, Gordon Head Gold, Nanaimo United and Castaways FC are seeded second through fifth, respectively.

Prior to the Terry Price final on Sunday the Doug Day Cup, Division 1 championship was won by Castaways FC over Vic West FC 3-0. Joey Porco scored twice and Julia Ratcliffe once, all in extra time, as the match was scoreless after 90 minutes. Samantha Behm earned the shutout.

The Doug Day Cup also boasted a rare feat, with an all female officiating crew.

“It’s a big accomplishment, and we’re hoping to make it happen more often,” Wachtin said.

Brea Moore was the referee, with referee’s assistants Donna Porter and Teresa Vitrou patrolling from the sidelines.

The Castaways are the Island’s No. 1 seed for the provincial B Cup draw, also on April 2, having finished first in the Div. 1 standings. Div. 1 clubs Vic West FC, Prospect Lake and Sooke Pumas enter the B Cup draw as the Island’s second to fourth seeds.
